A tourist in Vienna is going through a graveyard and all of a sudden

he hears some music. No one is around, so he starts searching for the

source.

He finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a grave

with a headstone that reads: Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827.

Then he realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is

being played backward!

Puzzled, he leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return

with him. By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has

changed. This time it is the Seventh Symphony, but like the previous

piece, it is being played backward.

Curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar.

When they return with the expert, the Fifth Symphony is playing,

again backward. The expert notices that the symphonies are being

played in the reverse order in which they were composed, the 9th,

then the 7th, then the 5th.

By the next day the word has spread and a throng has gathered around

the grave. They are all listening to the Second Symphony being played

backward.

Just then the graveyard's caretaker ambles up to the group. Someone

in the crowd asks him if he has an explanation for the music.

"Don't you get it?" the caretaker says incredulously, "He's

decomposing!"
